Its time to show off your wheels guys. I figured it was time to get rid of those 16" EO wheels and upgrade. Im lookin to get some 17`s. I happen to like all of the SVT wheels but i cant decide which ones would look best on the car.
Canadates:

02-03 SVTF silver wheels
02-03 SVTF Chrome wheels
04 SVTF wheels
03-04 SVTF euro wheels (grey and black)

lets see some pictures of your wheels on your ride.
thanks

I don't have any pictures but just going to throw in my opinions.

The 02-03 wheels I think are nice but too plain, and played out like crazy on here. I'm just tired of seeing them. Sorry guys.

The 02-03 in chrome would like hot, but I don't think I've seen anyone on here with them. Might be a CEG first. Not sure if I would like them on a silver car though. On a black car it would look hot.

The 04 wheels are one of my top choices and I almost bought them but I wanted to step down in weight from the stock 16" wheels. I think they fit the car very well without looking too flashy at the same time.

The 03-04 Euro wheels are my favorite of these. They just scream bad-a*s. In the Dark Argent color only though. I've never liked black wheels if they don't have a polished lip. It looks too much like a large steelie.

No offence but that's retarded. Those wheels look a thousand times better than those black things. And BTW neither of those are OEM Focus wheels.

I agree.. but the black wheels make the color scheme.. the 18's although a much better looking wheel has a clashing color scheme. just my $0.02

I like the euro's on 'tours even more when the car is lowered. 5 star focus wheels are becoming a everyone has them wheel. some day I might do the dark argent euros on my tropic green tour.

I only have them on the car a couple days out of the month, they are heavy and the conti tires make tons of road noise. The Redlines are extremely light and the tires are excelent in the rain and are silent on the highway.

That and I think I could use the $2K I was offered for them for better purposes... the kind that make a whining noise and are driven by a belt.

Oh yeah, and I almost forgot... I never read past the let's see your wheels part of the original post... whores usually can't read very well

Id give up my left nut for that car!

To those who've got the 5 spoke FSVT rims, they still look great on the car, "factory aftermarket"

I agree. I have one of the first sets that BAT had, and I'm still happy with them. Also, it doesn't look like I'm missing lug nuts!!
Posted By: skunk_dup1 Re: SVTF wheels - 06/29/06 06:02 PM
I do think the 5 star wheels look great on contours but they are getting to be to common. if you go to meets everyone has them, the euros also look nice on contours and they aren't has common has 5 stars. it seemed everyone jumped on the 5 star focus wheel bandwagon and it got kinda old. I fell right into the same deal years ago when I got E1's it was the thing to do at the time. now it seems the E1's aren't the norm anymore and you hardly see them, eventhough they are only 16 inchers . In the furture like I said dark argent euros and tropic green = .
